Younger Generation - Dumb or Stupid or Both- Yes or No

I see in my work a large number of 18 to 25 or year old persons

I see some in supervisory position with no interpersonal skills what so ever. And yes they send emails and cannot even be bothered to use the auto spell check.

I see employees that have the same talents as mentioned above

I see many who need help to even change their mind - the inability to think a simple problem through to a conclusion is unbelievable

I see this day after day.

I see a lack of ethics - both moral and work - They will blame someone else when something goes wrong instead of facing the music.

I see losers that will go through life complaining about everything that is wrong yet do nothing to change the situation

And yes men are the majority.

And no this is not all but a substantial number.

Then I see the others that will be highly successful in life.

you are bitching about 18 to 25 year olds being lazy and not using a spell checker. Here you are, in the very thread where you are bitching about the kids, showing that you are too lazy to use a spell checker, where your sentences don't even make sense, and your grammar is atrocious. Pot meet kettle. The kids can use the excuse that they are young and still learning. What's yours, you're old and can't remember how to do it properly?

Northern Ontario,
At work before I retired, the company, like most companies would hire students for summer relief.
We always got the usual, smart ,dumb, good workers and lazy bums in about the same ratio as the working adults.
This young man worked on my crew that summer, all thumbs when doing manual labour, but he was always looking for an easier way to do something, which unlike others, I didn’t hold against him.
So one day at lunch time he comes to ask about a job we had to do that afternoon, that usually took one hour , using overhead hoists, cable, and other mechanical lifts (no need to describe the job in details)

After having done that job with us a few times, he explained to me how it could be done easier and faster.
His idea made so much sense that I went and talked to the whole crew about it…
All of the guys said …”We have been doing it a certain way for years, it’s not the time to change”
Except the crew leader….he agreed with me that since the machine was shut down for the whole day this was the perfect time to experiment.
So when it was time to do the job, he stayed with the crew leader to direct the tradesmen that were also involved in the operation.
Instead of taking one hour, the job took 40 minutes and the manual labour part was a lot easier,
That job has been done that way since……

The only thing I hold against that kid, is that he went on to become a lawyer…….

I do the hiring where I work. One of the positions is for writers. It is unbelievable how atrocious the spelling and grammar is on both the resumes and cover letters from the younger generation.

I don't think you can paint all young people with one slogan. I see a generation that
thinks for itself and in some cases it conflicts with societies present moral standards
but that is true of every generation. The other problem I have is, if you tell people
they are dumb and stupid or both, they will be. Do young people take the verbal
abuse some employers hand out? No they tell the former boss what they think of them, and that is sometimes a good thing. I did that a few times because I always
felt I was looking for a job when I found the one I had. I did a lot of things in my
time but one thing I never did, I never kissed the backside of some supervisor. did
my job my way, if he didn't like it I moved on. Today I have my own business but I
still have to live by certain principles. In my view there is nothing worse that some
over rated supervisor who thinks everyone else is dumb and stupid. As for the fact
they are self absorbed, yes they are, and they don't use spell check because the
schools didn't see spelling as a critical issue which it is of course. It is usually an
older person who is a supervisor and its the team leaders job to inspire people to
want to change their view as to how to succeed. You don't inspire people telling they are dumb and stupid. I have 23 grand kids, I have a fairly good relationship with them all, so I know a little of which I speak, and you can't build good relationships
telling people they are dumb and stupid, or even that you, think they are.
Supervisors should do their job and inspire the next generation to be more inquisitive
and want to change. Asking youth for new ideas leaves one open to new ideas and
sometimes its too much for some older folk.. I think the younger generation has its
faults but I think most are a pretty good lot.

Holy crap, something I agree 100% with you on. I'm waiting for the sky to fall now.
